Dresr id right on this one... Another thing I want to mention is that if you do not put enough clear coat, the stickyness efect will happen. Try giving it good wash with dish soap to get the black smudges off, that's just oils from your skin (it happened to my white one). I can't stress enough to put LIGHT, EVEN layers to give it a good finish. If you overspray it, the paint dries sort of rubbery and feels sticky.

Any other questions feel free to ask! Im here to help
[HTC EVO 3D] Zoidpilot:
Can you go into more detail? I can definitely do it, but I need a good picture in my mind
[HTC EVO 3D] runeazn:
one thing i dont understand you buy the for 40$?

and you sell them painted for 45$? and that means you make 5$?

and then paint etc off?

3$?

I dont understand? im confused, just helping ya :)
[HTC EVO 3D] Zoidpilot:
Ahhh trade secret my friend. I appreciate the help though! Even IF I was just making $3 though, I'm glad I could help a friend ;)

[HTC EVO 3D] housry23:
Zoidpilot is working on one for me. I think my request is going to be pretty slick. Can't wait until he posts the pics. This is the kind of dude you can trust guys. He really isn't out to get rich off of this(although if he does it would be a bonus for him), or rip people off. I've been talking back and forth with him for about 3 weeks now and he is down to earth and easy to deal with. Anyway, I just wanted to vouch for the guy, cause he is a cool dude that just wants to make your phone unique.

By the way, as you can tell from the pics of his work, he is good at this and is not some hack. He says he has problems taking the pics because his hands shake a lot, but you can't tell by the quality of work he is doing. :)
[HTC EVO 3D] kingcliff00:
I kno u meant start lol..but yea no prob I'll be waiting
[HTC EVO 3D] kingcliff00:
+1 ill vouch for him 2... he's working on mine also
[HTC EVO 3D] Zoidpilot:
Ok guys the one for Newklear is up on the original post. If you look closely you can also see the one I have for KingCliff, that one is still under construction. It's now 3:30am here and the spraypaint has me high as a kite. Blue n black for KingCliff will be done tomorrow (or later today is it??) and ready to ship Monday morn :). Koneeak I got yours primered and set so maybe I can speed up the process and have it ready for Mon too since its not too complicated. I wish time didn't go by so fast jeez. Work and woman take up the whole day. Sunday is when I can usually crank out plenty of hours and get sh*t done so expect some tracking numbers in your PMs by Monday guys. For now I'm going comatose while I wait for the paint to dry...

BTW kingcliff I had to make some adjustments to the crown it looked out of place with the design. I'll see if I can PM you the new pics when I get to work at noon I hacked the company computers to allow me on the site now so we'll see if I can upload pics. I.T.? Pfffff nice try haha.

Stay kewl guys and thanks again for the support
[HTC EVO 3D] kingcliff00:
Alright no prob ill be on the lookout for those pics.... "Work and woman take up the whole day" story of our lives lol

I'd be down for a completely white back with black bezel (for the camera) instead of red. Although I only have $20 in my paypal :( If you can do it for that much I'd be fine paying you for it.

Nice work!
[HTC EVO 3D] kingcliff00:

[HTC EVO 3D] fowenati:

[HTC EVO 3D] weaver3294:
One quick question, when you paint the camera bezel does it effect the sound of the speaker?
[HTC EVO 3D] weaver3294:
sorry dupe post.
[HTC EVO 3D] saltorio:
Awesome work, Zoidpilot!

I'd totally buy one from you if my phone wasn't forever hidden in a TPU case.
[HTC EVO 3D] dresr82:
That joint is CRAZY! Makes me not want to post mine. But I promised I would so here you go. Its actually a case I had laying around but it still gets the job done. Its football season so I had to put on for my squad!

iight thats hot *two thumbs up*
[HTC EVO 3D] dresr82:
Thanks yo. But the homie Zoidpilot got me over here thinking on how to step my game up on the next one. I just ordered another back cover. Im gonna do another Broncos joint but just a little more elaborate this time.
[HTC EVO 3D] poloboogie:
what did you use to do the logo or did you draw it free hand?
[HTC EVO 3D] dresr82:
I printed a pic from the internet and cut it out and used it for a stencil. placed the stencil on a piece of painter tape and used a exacto knife to cut it out. placed the cut out tape on the phone and painted it.
[HTC EVO 3D] Zoidpilot:
Of course bro... Yo I can't apologize enough for the wait, but I went thru hell this past week. I'm happy with it. It looks better in your hand though... So PM me when you can so we can talk business because my memory is terrible. I'm glad you like it man I put a lot of effort into it.
[HTC EVO 3D] Zoidpilot:
That's kinda tricky with the bezel... I know what to do though so PM me
[HTC EVO 3D] Zoidpilot:
Not really... See after you paint it, you can go with a needle and poke the holes back out CAREFULLY. I noticed a lot of the time though the paint molds into itself and the holes stay just fine... Guess I've been lucky :o
[HTC EVO 3D] Zoidpilot:
BTW man that case looks sweeet-ah!! The colors pop I like it, but not a Broncos fan. Keep this up, and soon you'll take over my thread! LOL

Sure thing broski...

BTW Newklearx3, if you're still suscribed please respond man... It's been a week since I've heard from you and I'm sure there's a few people here who would gladly take the cover off my hands if you're not interested (it's the white one with the red lining around HTC at the bottom of the OP pics).
[HTC EVO 3D] fowenati:
That one looks nice!
[HTC EVO 3D] Zoidpilot:
So... The toaster oven I've been baking these covers in now makes EVERYTHING you cook in it taste like paint. Maybe that's why I've been hallucinating and my pupils look like two pennies o_O

Oh yeah! My bad bro, I got your PM but it got buried under all the other ones... I put in an order that day we talked about it and they cancelled it saying it was out of stock. I'll check back today I'm at work right now. I actually found a better looking blue lets see

It's just a new hue of canvas :D actually if you could get ahold of some of those at your discount rate they would probably be easier to work with, I'd bet you could get away with one layer of primer on bright colors and have less worries about thickness overall. And the silver bezel would fit with more paint schemes than the red.

Alright I'm getting a little frustrated... Almost NONE of the ones I've painted with the exception of Housry's and KingCliff's have NOT BEEN CLAIMED.

Now I know how McDonald's employees feel when someone orders food and then leaves before picking it up. If this keeps happening I think I'm gonna quit... I appreciate all the praise, but this isn't fun when I can't even get a reply.

If I don't get further notice soon, I'm selling all but Housry's. Fair warning

I can make the blue n black with the shield... The android in the suit I'd have to see how I can set it up... I work with literally spray paint, tape, and sticker paper so I don't wanna spit on your good name by making a cheesy looking case ;). Let me draw out some concepts, if anything I can at least guarantee that I can get the shield on there...
[HTC EVO 3D] Zoidpilot:
Maybe This lettering in silver on a blue shield lined in siver... Possibly on a blue and black cover what do you think?
[HTC EVO 3D] dresr82:
Io

Don't give up my dude. Its cats out there that will quickly pay for these joints. I think you should start making cats pay half up front, half upon completion. That way you don't completely waste your time. You at least get the first half and could probably sell the completed case to someone else fort the full price. Be encouraged though man.

[HTC EVO 3D] ExploreMN:
I would recommend you have people PayPal you the money before you start the paint job. If you don't deliver they can get a refund and if you do deliver, you are paid already. But then you might have to up the cost to cover PayPal fees.

It's pretty ****ty that people tell you they will buy it and then vanish though. Makes ya lose faith in people...
[HTC EVO 3D] kingcliff00:
SMH What colors u got for sale??
[HTC EVO 3D] Zoidpilot:
So far If Koneeak and Newklear do not answer, two white ones (one with red border around the black) and the red n black one

When it comes to the white ones is one of them all white border included, if so I might be interested.
[HTC EVO 3D] cor4twenty:
suppose i send you three covers, you keep two and send me one back painted :D

sound like a good deal?
[HTC EVO 3D] housry23:
Sorry to hear that people are ignoring you bro. I would definitely make people put half down before you even pick the darn thing up and start to primer it. That way you know they won't back out on you and don't send it off until you get paid in full. You can post pics of the finished products and even send the pics via PM. As soon as you PM the pics then they can finish paying and you can put the thing in the mail. I got your message. I'll be looking forward to receiving my custom back.

I just want to let everyone know that Zoidpilot is an honest dude. He does great work and can give your Evo 3D or whatever phone you might have a unique look without a case. His word is good and he has been nice enough to do for us without asking for anything down before starting. Have some respect for him and get him his money for his hard work. He has a life outside of painting these backs and is doing this for us. Anyway, I just want to vouch for the guy. He has been a pleasure to do business with and has been true to his word with me.

Looks nice n she likes it but she wanted her name in there so could we put her name at the bottom inside the android in black. if so i will buy. i was going to send u another backpiece but u already got this done. if u still want me 2 let me kno. PM me the price.
[HTC EVO 3D] Zoidpilot:
Housry to be honest, I don't like how it came out. I planned to ship out tomorrow anyway so tonight I'll respray another tonight... The thing is that I had already clear-coated the original so Its difficult to touch up...

That's cool man. No worries. I'm not in a big hurry to get it. I'd much rather you take your time andget it right than get something I'm not happy with. Thanks for the update.

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CoffeeM:
Hi, I recently updated MangoB2, and it was working fine, but I tried to play a video and it froze and went off, and came to connect to PC screen, and when I try to restore, it shuts the phone off and it restarts the phone. Plus, it also can't recover using windows phone support tool, please help!!!
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drkfngthdragnlrd:
My first question is, is there any ROM's available for your device. If so, boat into the tri-color screen & try flashing a ROM. Also, have you tried Hard resetting your device.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CoffeeM:
Yes I did try to hard reset, but it does it quickly, and says to restart my phone, and my phone is HTC T8788, also when i try to restore in Zune it stops at 16%,
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drkfngthdragnlrd:
Did you try booting into the Tri-Color Screen & flashing one of the ROM's from here?

Hold Volume down & press power, keep holding volume down until you see the tri-color screen (red/blue/green/white), when connected to PC it'll say USB at the bottom & windows should install a new driver. Than you run the flashing program from one of those threads.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CoffeeM:
I can't do it, it doesn't work, now it freezes on HTC white screen, and doesn't connect to restore either,
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reeg420:
Nobody is going to help you if you aren't trying suggestions.... It should most definatly go into bootloader... It won't even have a chance to freeze nothing loads at that point.

I did try to flash, but this only works, RUU_Mondrian_Cingular_US_1.03.502.07_5.51.09.06_22.30.50_RELEASE other ones I get [error] 208, but still it get stuck at HTC screen, is it because I have to have nk.nbf file, if so can anyone tell me where and how I can get it working, I tried all night and still trying to fix, I really need it working!
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CoffeeM:
The phone still gets stuck at HTC screen, even after flash, I tried everything, could it be because I have Windows Phone 7.5 Beta 2 in there.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drkfngthdragnlrd:
If it's still getting stuck, maybe you have a faulty SD Card or the ROM chip got corrupted somehow. You may have to send it in under warranty. My only other suggestion would be to try RSPL or HSPL (HSPL void warranty) & than try flashing a ROM again if RSPL/HSPL supports your model of the HTC Surround. I'd suggest RSPL as it's temporary & won't cause any warranty issues.

Instructions:

1) Boot into Tri-Color Screen with Volume down feature.

2) Connect to USB to PC.

3) Wait for Windows to install new hardware driver. (Should be done already as you tried flashing already)

4) Run DFT_RSPL_WP7FG1_LAUNCH.exe from ZIP attachment in thread linked below.

5) Wait for your device to reboot back into Tri-Color Screen on it own.

6) Flash ROM. Optionally, flash HSPL with DFT_HSPL_WP7FG1_INSTALL.exe from same zip, than flash the ROM.

NOTE: Using HSPL flashes it to ROM & if you are having hardware issue, this could completely brick the device. So, proceed with caution!

[DFT] HSPL / RSPL for HTC WP7 First Generation

It wouldn't be because of the Mango Beta, flashing the ROM should of reformatted the ROM chip & SD Card, erasing Mango.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CoffeeM:
I have the same problem, still gets stuck on HTC screen, could it be the SD card is not working, I try to put in restore so I can restore it starts normally but when it restarts the phone to continue to restore it gets stuck at HTC screen, and is there a way to check to see if the SD card is OK.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drkfngthdragnlrd:
To check the SD Card, you need a Nokia device. Nokia devices can format WP7 SD Cards. Nothing else will recognize the format WP7 uses. Plus, you have to open the device up to get it out, which in most cases will void your warranty. One of the screws has a void sticker on it & if your try removing that screw, your warranty is void as they can see you tried removing the screw by the sticker being missing or damaged.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CoffeeM:
If possible, list all software I can try to restore or fix, or tweak to make work or reset something in the phone to work! Anything at all!
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CoffeeM:
That's no problem for me, I bought from a friend! I have nothing to lose. And do you know the software to format the SD disk!
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drkfngthdragnlrd:
Oh wait, are you trying to restore after successfully installing a new ROM?

If so, don't restore, the restore isn't compatible anymore. You can reinstall all apps by finding them in the marketplace again (on device, not ZUNE PC). As long as you use same live ID on setup, the apps should be read as purchased.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drkfngthdragnlrd:
In order to format the SD Card, you need a Nokia Cell. I believe it's their meego/Symbian OS that can find the card. Hopefully you or a friend has one. Lucky for me my roommate has a Nokia Nuron if I ever needed to do this.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CoffeeM:
So I can't restore it anymore since I install new boot loader. Or it doesn't matter.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drkfngthdragnlrd:
Bootloader doesn't matter, if you flash a new ROM, it does as the restore won't be compatible with the new ROM. The restore must be made from the current ROM at least to my knowledge. It could be that maybe the restore is corrupt even.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enoch861:
There is also a tool that lets you do it in Windows. It was by Samsung or something. I'll try to find it and post it in here.
